Mountains Of The Mind

Once we thought monsters lived there. In the Enlightenment we scaled them to commune with the sublime. Soon, we were racing to conquer their summits in the name of national pride. In this ground‑breaking, classic work, Robert Macfarlane takes us up into the mountains to experience their shattering beauty, the fear and risk of adventure, and to explore the strange impulses that have for centuries led us to the world's highest places. A must-read for mountain-lovers, climbers and anyone fascinated by the history of human encounters with wild elevations.

The Wild Places

Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? Or have we tarmacked, farmed and built ourselves out of wildness? In this vital, bewitching and inspiring classic, Macfarlane sets out in search of the wildness that remains—journeying to coastal fringes, bogs, islands and remoter woods. The Wild Places blends travelogue, natural history and cultural reflection to remind readers why wild landscapes matter and how they continue to shape our imaginations.

The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot

Following the tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast ancient network of routes criss-crossing the British Isles and beyond, Robert Macfarlane discovers a lost world—a landscape of the feet and the mind, of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts. The Old Ways is an invitation to walk, remember and reconnect with the routes that have long shaped human experience.
